Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A swan salt cellar is an open condiment vessel designed to hold table salt, traditionally featuring a glass or crystal body with silver hinged wings that open to reveal the contents.

These pieces are typically constructed with solid silver or silver-plated metal for the neck and articulated wings, fitted onto a clear glass or cut crystal body.

Authentic examples feature hallmark stamps on the silver components indicating metal purity or maker marks, alongside a functional, smoothly operating hinge mechanism on the wings.

A silver salt cellar can be placed on a dining table as part of a formal place setting or repurposed on a dressing table to hold small items of jewellery.

The glass body should be wiped with a soft damp cloth, while the silver components require gentle cleaning with a specialised silver polishing cloth to avoid damaging the hinges.
